Here is my code:
$buffer .= '<legend>'.$thisField.'</legend><input type="text" name="'.$thisField.'" id="'.$thisField.'"/> <a href="javascript:;" onClick="mcImageManager.browse({fields : 'url_abs'});">[Pick file]</a><br /><small>360px W x 240px H</small><br /><br />';
It is breaking syntax error, unexpected T_STRING
I have tried every type of combination of single quotes, double quotes and escaping ??
I am at a loss, What am I missing??
Thanks!!
Just escape your quotes inside the string with a backslash:
$buffer .= '<legend>'.$thisField.'</legend><input type="text" name="'.$thisField.'" id="'.$thisField.'"/> <a href="javascript:;" onClick="mcImageManager.browse({fields : \'url_abs\'});">[Pick file]</a><br /><small>360px W x 240px H</small><br /><br />';
See the PHP manual:
To specify a literal single quote, escape it with a backslash (\).
In such cases it's advisable to resort to HEREDOC strings, also for readability:
$buffer .= <<<END
<legend>$thisField</legend>
<input type="text" name="$thisField" id="$thisField"/>
<a href="javascript:;" onClick="mcImageManager.browse({fields : 'url_abs'});">[Pick file]</a>
<br /><small>360px W x 240px H</small><br /><br />
END;
This avoids having to escape any quotes. And you can just write $variables as-is within such a block.
As the highlighter tells you, php will fail near {fields : 'url_abs'}. You're inside a single quoted string, so you'll have to escape the single quotes inside the string:
{fields : \'url_abs\'},
The issue is the single quotes around url_abs.
